Black men came to protect you and you out here thanking a white man...who just painted the banister or your porch? Or a white man sitting in a chair? Or specifying the one dude is Italian first and THEN African American? Black men came to your aid, Jennifer...don’t forget...
The problem is that white people don’t need to be thanked. Or you don’t need to specify that a man is “Italian and African American” to thank him. That’s the issue.
Painting a banister or holding a sign is the least they could do. It’s called being a decent human after their ancestors murdered, pillaged, raped, tortured and discriminated against us for hundreds of years. Hell, they still do it. This is why people are out there tryna help her
